Blogoversary Give Away

This post will stay at the top of my blog till the 15th September so you will need to go down to find any newer posts!

On the 15th September this blog will be 7 years old. So as a thank you to all the lovely people that have been on this blogging journey with me, my time in Saudi Arabia, then Canada and now, Australia, and have been so supportive and kind about all of my mini books, weird projects, tales of abayah wearing and snow shovelling, I thought I would do a blogoversary give away.

I did think perhaps the way to go was to dig into my stash (it's not like there is a shortage of the stuff) but then I thought perhaps the person who won it might not be into stamps and paper and stuff... so I made something instead. The person who wins might now be thinking why didn't she stick to the stash idea!

So I found one of my precious Bisto Gravy Granual tubs and made a cotton reel...

I used Graphic 45 Communique papers for the cotton reel and Communique fabric in the snippet roll.

So if you would like to win this.... it is very easy! Just add a comment to this post.... which if I am successful will stay at the top of my blog till the 15th September, which is the anniversary and on the 15th I will use a random number generator to pick a number. yep, that's all you have to do... no jumping through hoops and I don't mind where you live....

Congrats on seven years. I remember when you were getting ready to move from Saudi Arabia to Canada. What a fun journey this has been seeing all the places you have lived and all the trips you and Chris (and Christopher, too) have taken.

I feel I should not put my name in the hat because you have gifted me with so many wonderful goodies in the past. But I love this awesome assemblage you have made, and hope whoever wins it realizes you truly ARE the Queen of Embellishments!

cant decide..is it your unrivalled skills with paper and fabric or your lovely friendly humour that attracts me to your blog all the time? I dunno, but Ive enjoyed the effortless travelling (!!!, see, I can do humour). seven years of blogging...my word, if we ever meet, will we have anything left to talk about? I absolutely LOVE the cotton reel, but please don't include me in the draw...I'm a previous recipient of your generosity and it wouldn't be right. And just to check..now you've reached seven...you aren't about to retire or do anything rash?..

Congratulations on 7 years. Going by lots of others you should be 'retiring' your blog to start another one or something, but I hope you don't, I love reading it. Love your cotton reel, you have some amount of imagination! x

You can't give that away!! It's beautiful - but I would love to be in with a chance of winning it. Congratulations on 7 years of blogging - and packing and unpacking your amazing craft space - around the world! Helen

Happy happy 7th!! And we are lucky to share in your adventures vicariously, so thank you for sharing. And Oh. my. word. that is one gorgeous decorated reel and then it opens and is even more fabulous!! Thanks for the chance to win it : D.

Wow to keep blogging for seven years is a great achievement! You have shared so much with us all over the years and I will never forget when I met you and told you about this great crafter on UKS, you asked who it was and when I told you Voodoo Vixen you said pleased to meet you!!! How amazing was that! Been with you through you journey and will never forget when Pandy came into your lives and how I was able to name her on my 40th birthday, who though she would travel with you then lol!!

About Me

I began scrapping when we were living in South Africa and have developed a bit of an addiction to mini books of all kinds. I then moved to Saudi Arabia and onto Calgary, Canada and finally to Brisbane in Australia. I spend my time playing with stash! I was on the Zutter's Design Team 2008 - 2009 and love playing with my BIA. Latest update is that I have finished my travels and am back home in Scotland getting the house organised after many years of being all over the world.
